2 The tongue deviseth mischiefs; like a sharp razor, working deceitfully.

3 Thou lovest evil more than good; and lying rather than to speak righteousness. Selah.

4 Thou lovest all devouring words, O thou deceitful tongue.

5 God shall likewise destroy thee for ever, he shall take thee away, and pluck thee out of thy dwelling place, and root thee out of the land of the living.

Selah.

6 The righteous also shall see, and fear, and shall laugh at him:

7 Lo, this is the man that made not God his strength; but trusted in the abundance of his riches, and strengthened himself in his wickedness.

8 But I am like a green olive tree in the house of God: I trust in the mercy of God for ever and ever.

9 I will praise thee for ever, because thou hast done it: and I will wait on thy name; for it is good before thy saints. (KJV)

Our Father,

Thanks for making us like a green olive tree in the Kingdom of God. We trust in your steadfast love and live in your presence now and forever. Through faith in Your Son Jesus we have become fruitful in this life with hope in the life to come. We are secure in the knowledge that through your Holy Spirit we are producing lasting treasures in Heaven. We rejoice now and we will sing songs of everlasting praise in your Kingdom.

Not so those who do not believe, the scoffers who make fun of your people and persecute your church. They wonder to and fro trying to find a truth to believe in, a purpose to consume their lives, and settle for the honor and riches of this world which will pass away. When they go on to the next they will take nothing with them and then they will see their folly. They will not rejoice and they will not be singing praises in the life to come.

While there is yet day, inspire us O Lord to reach out to such as these who think they know something but really are ignorant of the truth. Let your Holy Spirit help us to bring many to a knowledge of your Son and your loving plan for all humanity.

Let us be humble examples of your love and teach us to pray for those who oppose us. Strengthen us against the enemy that comes to destroy rather than build up, protect us from the evil one and his minions.

Let our testimonies go forth in our neighborhoods, among our family and friends and let us transform entire cities in the name of your Son. Let this nation see revival once more. Let a new generation experience your healings and miracles even those who say there are no such things. Surprise them and save many.
